Comparison of TAScope with C MAC in ease of intubation and haemodynamic changes: A randomised controlled trial

The study titled “Comparative study of TAScope with C-MAC in ease of intubation and haemodynamic changes: A Randomised Controlled Trial”is a prospective study comparing two videolaryngoscopes—TAScope (an indigenous, affordable device) and C-MAC (a standard high-end device)—in patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia. Sixty adult patients will be randomly assigned to two groups of thirty each. The study aims to evaluate and compare the ease of intubation and hemodynamic responses between the two devices, using parameters like number of intubation attempts, intubation time, intubation difficulty score, POGO score, airway trauma, and postoperative sore throat. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software, with significance at p < 0.05. The study seeks to determine if TAScope offers performance comparable to C-MAC while being more cost-effective for use in resource-limited settings.
